Options:
  • A
    $\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{x}_0, \delta=-\pi / 4$
  • B
    $\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{x}_0 \omega^2, \delta=-\pi / 4$
  • C
    $\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{x}_0 \omega^2, \delta=-\pi / 4$
  • D
    $\mathrm{A=x_0 \omega^2, \delta=3 \pi / 4}$

The correct answer is:
$\mathrm{A=x_0 \omega^2, \delta=3 \pi / 4}$
$\mathrm{v=-x_0 \omega \sin (\omega t-\pi / 4)}$
$\mathrm{a=-x_0 \omega^2 \cos \left(\omega t+\pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)}$
$\mathrm{a=A \cos (\omega t+\delta)}$
$\mathrm{A=x_0 \omega^2 ; \quad \delta=\frac{3 \pi}{4}}$
